Designed with a warm palette, 3D pixel elements, large-scale wall graphic and sophisticated materiality that meets environmental industry standards. The design reflects Officeworks’ unique retail personality while giving the new store experience it’s own original character.

The response of the opening of Officeworks’ 3D Experience Centre has been overwhelmingly positive; people have approached the technology with open minds and have experienced what 3D printing can offer them and have scanned and printed hundreds of 3D Mini Me’s.

Clearly Eyeware

One of Sydney’s newest interior design studios, The Great Indoors, has created a luxurious and dramatic new store for North American eyewear and contacts online giant, Clearly.

The Great Indoors design director, Lee Hopkinson, was thrilled to undertake the design of Clearly’s first Australian bricks and mortar store sited under The Ivy, which opened on 20 March 2014.

The store design reflects the luxe location and is inspired by the activity and nightlife of the area with a key aspect of the design being that the store needed to be both beautiful and functional in the day and a visual attraction at night.

Working in partnership with The General Store, Hopkinson created a theatrical showpiece based on a disco mirror ball.

The centrepiece is a series of small reflective mirror boxes displaying single pairs of glasses and mirror panels resting on a raised circular platform.

After dark, the store comes alive with a coloured lighting sequence and the raised platform featuring the mirror ball display rotates. This has a stunning effect of refracting coloured light out of the store into the streetfront, just like a disco ball.

O'Gorman & Partners

O'Gorman & Partners Estate Agency has completed a brand & architectural make over with The Great Indoors (Architecture & Interior Design) Born and Raised (Brand Design)

The site occupies a prominent corner site at 130 Avenue Road, Mosman. The business has been well established within the area for 35 years but was in need of a new brand and complimentary architecture to boost their market position within a very competitive real estate landscape.

The Great Indoors followed key brand concepts created by Born and Raised as inspirational devices to create an interior design of dark warm timber palette and rich materials whilst anchoring an informal client reception space with private & semi private meeting rooms, kitchen and work space leading to revitalised outdoor space. The clients decision was a forward thinking one to change their service model and move their sales team up to the 1st floor area.

The external facade has been re designed with the new brand signage integrated into the architectural treatments. The external windows have been updated to focus on digital screens and provide views into the inviting new interior space. A new entrance mat imbeds the brand signage with bronze into a mosaic floor as a 'welcome' sign to the new estate agency.

KFC Urban Manly

New concept design store for KFC opened in Manly. The store design is sympathetic to the original heritage building. The design connects with the local Manly surrounding using an urban Manly beach landscape graphic across the external windows facing the Manly Wharf Bar.

A carefully considered design using a combination of warm timber external and interior architecture elements injected with key KFC brand elements and KFC highlight colour 'red'.

As a case study the store footprint is globally one of the smallest KFC's. The project challenged a number of aspects including spatial constraints, kitchen design, existing base building restrictions, services design, customer accessibility, council and heritage requirements.

The Boatshed

The iconic Boatshed Cafe building sits at the southern end of Anzac Parade and directly anchors itself into the beach of Frenchmans Bay The internal dining areas and the external deck area provide stunning views across Botany Bay Sydney. The site is located within the Botany Bay Conservation Area.

The project involved a complete restoration of the building and adjacent deck area and interior fit out. The new concept inspiration and material finishes is influenced by the previous use of the building as a storage facility for boats with the interior restaurant given the feeling of being immersed within a boat building framework.

The Great Indoors worked closely with a bespoke furniture designer, Rory Unite to ensure architecture, interior design & furniture felt seamless within the design aesthetic and customer experience.

The external decked area provides an all weather dining experience with the new pergola and retractable roof. This allows the operator to increase the amount of customers able to enjoy the location given it’s seasonal location.

The Boatshed is a licenced cafe with a dine in or take away food & refreshment offer.
